The Lord Redeems Israel

21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
    and Israel, for you are (A)my servant;
I formed you; you are my servant;
    (B)O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 (C)I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
    and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you.

23 (D)Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it;
    shout, O (E)depths of the earth;
break forth into singing, O mountains,
    O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
    (F)and will be glorified[a] in Israel.

God Forgives and Redeems

21 (A)Remember these things, Jacob,
And Israel, for you are (B)My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant,
Israel, you will (C)not be forgotten by Me.
22 I have (D)wiped out your wrongdoings like a thick cloud
And your sins like a [a]heavy mist.
(E)Return to Me, for I have (F)redeemed you.”
23 (G)Shout for joy, you heavens, for the Lord has done it!
Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth;
(H)Break into a shout of jubilation, you mountains,
Forest, and every tree in it;
For (I)the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And in Israel He (J)shows His glory.
